THE JURY DIsAGREEs.
No Verdict Reached in the Trial of
Arensdorf for Shooting Had
dock.
Eleven Of the Twelve Good Men and
True for Acquittal to One for
Conviction.

The jury in the case Of John Arensdorf,
the wealthy brewer who has been on trial
at Sioux City for several weeks past for the
murder OF Rev. George @. Haddock, has
been discharged, having been unable to
reach an agreement. The jury stood eleven
for acquittal to one for conviction. The
latter was proof against the appeals and
arguments of his eleven obstinate asso-
ciates, and as they were equally hxed in
their opinions, the contest ends in drawn
battle. 1t has been protracted and weari-
some trial, involving the examination OF
over one hundred and twenty Witnesses,
with an immense volume Of testimony.
That vast amount of perjury has been
committed is apparent to all, as shown by
the conflicting testimony. 1t is not deter
mined when another trial will be had. IT
is probable it will be in the May term.

stanton and the President.

We quote the following anecdote
from @Recollections of Secretary STAN
ton," by clerk of the War Depart
ment, in the Century: "When Mr..
Stanley, of North Carolina, was APP
pointed Military Governor of his State,
the Secretary Of War caused to be filed
out one of the blank forms used for
notifying military nominees of their
appointment to Office by the President,
and when he had signed it and caused
the seal of the Department of War to
be attached to it, he concluded that it
would be well to have the sigu-manual
of the President affixed to the instru-
ment. He sent the commission to the
White House, with the request that the
President would sign and return il i'm
mediately. Mr.. Lincoln took the doc
ument and read il over carefully, and
then began turning and twisting it
about, as though in search of some
thing. At last he handed it to the
bearer and said, ironically:
Did Mr.. Stanton say lohere was
to put my signatureP
No, sir;' replied the astonished
clerk.
"'Can you tell me, asked the Presi-
dent, whereabouts on this paper am
to put my signatureY
The clerk looked at the commission
and saw the ample signature OF Mr..
Stanton Immediately at the foot of the
body of the instrument, with the coun-
ter-signature of the Adiutant General
to the left. He saw also neat, snug
looking white space beneath the sign
manual of the Secretary of War which
Mr.. Lincoln might have occupied to
advantage had he seen fit, but the clerk
was polite, and replied:
I don't see any place provided for
your signature, Mr.. President and was
proceeding to explain how the omission
obviously came about when the Presi-
dent interrupted him and said, in q dig
nified tone:
Take the paper back to the Secre-
tary of War, with my compliments. and
say that the President will promptly
sign any proper commission that may
be sent to him for Governor Stanley or
anybody else.'"

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Five Persons Killed Near Chicago by
the Collapse OF Water
Tank.
The Great Reservoir Weakened by the
Collision Of Two Freight
Trains.
lChicago special.l

A terrible and peculiar accident occurred
Sunday afternoon at Palatine, station
twenty six miles northeast Of Chic ago, on
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.
BY the bursting of large railroad water
tank five men we're killed outright and four
we're seriously injured. At an early hour
in the morning two freight trains collided
at Palatine. The engines were wrecked
and number Of cars demolished and
hurled from the track. The colli-
sion occurred directly beside q large
watertank which stands near the
depot. The ground was torn up,
and some of the supports must have been
lowered. The vater-tank had a capacity Of
100, 900 gallons, and contained at the time
about $4,000 gallons. A wrecking train
force of men set 10 work 10 clear mp the
wreck. As il was Sunday, and the people
of tho village and neighborhood were idle,
large crowd Of men and boys gathered
around the scene of the wreck, watching
the work of the wrecking hands. As the
greatest amount of work was being done
right beside the water-tank, the largest
crowd of spectators collected there. Men
and boys stood around and under
the water-tank, and leaned against the
large posts supporting 1t. Suddenly
there was report, In volume as loud as
the discharge of ten ordinary pieces of
musketry, and the structure collapsed.
The great sides of the tank were forced
outward, the hoops parted like threads,
and, under the weight of $4,000
gallons OF water, the heavy, water
soaked timbers and wrought iron
descended on the heads OF the unfor-
tunates underneath. II would be impossi-
BILE TO picture the sight. Hemmed under
the parted tank, and for q moment totally
submerged in the deluge that followed,
we're the people caught in the crush. When
the water had flowed off-the work Of but a
second-fve men, instantly killed, could be
seen through the creyices of the piled-up
slaves.
The following are those who were killed
and injured: Edward Wenke, Of Palatme,
killed; William Garms, OF Palatine, killed;
George Myer, boy, of Arlington Heights.
killed; William Myer, brother of the pre-
ceding, Of Arlington Heights, killed; Fred
erick Boeger, of Arlington Heights, killed;
John Asmust, Of Palatine, crushed about
the head, probably fatal; Charles Storms,
boy, Of Palatine, probably fatally injuredi
Augustus Fisher, of Palaiine, severely
bruised; unknown man, of Palatine, badly
bruised. Half dozen others received
minor injuries, but were able to get to their
homes.

Notes of the Game.

SPALDINGs Official Base Ball Guide for
1887 surT asses all Of its predecessors in
the great amount of valuable information
it contains. 1t is embellished with cuts of
President Spalding. nj. j. Kelly, Roger
Connor, James O'Rourke, Dan Brouthers,
and A. @. Anson. The Guide enters upon
its second decade as q standard hand book
of the national game. IL may be said to
omen up a new era in the history OF the
game, as il presents for the first time new
code of playing rules which govern every
professional club in the country. A feature
of the Guido for 1857 is the explanatory
appendix 10 each class of rules Of the new
code. Another specially is the monthly
records Of the championship contests OF the
two leading organizations of the country.
THE grand stand Of the Athletic Club Of
Philadelphia is fitted mp with opera chairs,
and the stand looks very much like a
theater.
THE profits of the Chicago Club last sea-
son we're a little more than $4,000. Add
TO this $4,000 realized from sale of play
ers and tho treasury has about $50, 900
from which to declare n dividend OF 20 per
cent. and leave enough to run the club for
q while.
THE interstate commerce law makes it
cost the League clubs about $4,000 more
for travelling expenses.

FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury Believe that Schwartz
and Watt Killed Kellogg
Nichols.
Such Is the Termination of the Pro-
lOnged Express Robbery Trial
at Morris, Ill.
Morris ul.) special

After trial lasting thirty days. Schwartz
and Watt have been declared by jury of
twelve good men and true guilty of the
murder of Kellogg Nichols, and their
punishment fixed at imprisonment for life
In the penitentiary. When the jury re-
tired, on Tuesday afternoon, it was the
general opinion that there would be dis
agreement. After seclusion of little
more than five hours word was sent to
Judge Dibell that they had reached con-
clusion. A few minutes aiterward they
fled into court. When Judge Dibell said:
Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed
upon a verdict?" L. H. Robinson, the
Oldest juror on the panel, arose and handed
the verdict TO the Sheriff, who passed 1t up
to the court. Judge Dibell scanned it, and
then read il: "We, the jury, find Newton
Watt guilty Of the murder OF Kellogg
Nichols in the manner and form as charged
in the Indictment, and FIX his penalty at
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for the
term of his natural life." The verdict as
to Schwartz was then read. It finds him
also guilty in the manner and form
charged, and fixes his penalty at imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for his natural
life. Each juror then in turn ratified the
verdict.
There was death-lik silence in the
courtroom. Watt was sitting near his
brother, with his arms resting on the table,
still gazing steadily at the jury. Schwartz
sat near his father with his hands clasped
across his breast, gazing away from the
Jury, seemingly insensible to their presence
and veredict. Neither of the men mani
tested the slightest emotion. Watt talked
with his brother and smiled when spoken 10
by his attorney. Schwartz was more serious
when his counsel approached him, but a
slight, reluctant smile gathered on his
countenance. The Court thanked the jury
for the attention during the trial and dis
missed them.

IN RTenloriarn.

Mrs. Mamie Summers, wife of
VIM. A. Summers, Esq, of Charles
ton, and daughter of DIR. James
Stewart, of Raymond City, w. Va,
died at the residence of her husband,
Charleston, West Virginia, Thurs
day night, September 1st, 1887, and
was buried in the family burying
ground, in Charlestony Saturday,
the Sd inst.
Some several weeks ago Mrs.
Summers was attacked with typho-
malariaI fever, and for a season her
husband, relatives and physicians
were fattered with the hope of her
early recovery, but days and nights
rolled on and the disease, In despite
of the, devotion and watchful care
of husband, brothers, sisters, pa
rents and skill of physicians, seemed
not to let go its hold, and soon it
became evident that the monster
could not be stayed, and without a
;murmur she calmly and sweetly,
and in the full possession of the
hope of bright and peaceful inn
mortality, yielded up her life to the
God who gave it.
Thus, in the MONDAY of her prime
passed away a pure, good and noble
woman. Mrs. Summers was natur-
ally of strong mind well cultivated
by best educational advantages and
proper training in early life, and in
later days by an extended course Of
solid reading. Her@perceptive fac
ulties were quick and. sensitive, her
Judgment good, far-sighted and cor
rect, and she rarely, if ever, erred
in her estimate of character. Ig
Pure in purpose, strong where
womanly strength and courage were
demanded, gentle, amiable, tender,
modest and retiring, made her whole
life sweet exemplification of sin
cerest integrity, in thought, word
and action. Her predominating
quality and guiding star was to do
the right as she saw it, and thus do
ing, she builded character that
will ever challenge the love and adj
miration of all who knew her. She
fondly loved and fully appreciated
the worth and character of her hus-
band, and was devoted, faithful
and happy in domestic life. To the
Borrowing, bereaved husband, aged
and afflicted parents, fond, loving

Already the people hereabouts
are on the tiptoe of expectancy over
the forthcoming visit of Sells Broth
ers' Enormous United Shows, which
exhibit in Gallipolis Friday Sept.
18th, 1887. Sells Bros' star is high
in the ascendent this season. New
er. before in the history of tented
famusements hasa management
met with such dazzling and sweep
ing success as has marked the tour
of Messrs Sells the present summer.
The show is said to be a revelation
in every department. Money has
been spent with lavish hand to
augment and perfect this exhibition
to point never attained by CO.
temporary, and the magnificent
patronage that is being accorded it
is fitting tribute to the managerial
sagacity of it's famous proprietors.
Some of the special attractions are
a company of Arabian soldiers and
acrobats, Prince Misako's japanese
circus, and Alexander McGregor's
troupe of Scotch athletes, who APP
pear in series of remarkable ath-
letic games and broadsword com
bats on horseback. A recent ac-
QUESTION of this establishment is an
imposing reproduction of the clas-
sic Roman hippodrone with all its
vivid and startling effects. Some 60
fleet footed, thoroughbred equines
appear in series of races. Another
notable novelty is Pawnee Bills
great "Wild West show, compris-
ing 100 celebrated scouts, cowboys,
rifle and pistol experts, Indians and
yaqueros. The "WiId West" and
hippodrone races are given on an inn
mese track that encircles the three
rings and stage. The menagerie.
Indian village and museum and
chronological congress, also posses ex-
ceptional merit. That the Messrs
Sells will meet with an ovation here
can be set down as a certainty.
